Introduction: the Huns (1–12)

Tertia pars orbis, fratres, Europa vocatur,  Tertia pars orbis: as opposed to Africa and Asia, a division found as early as Herodotus (2.16).

Fratres: suggests that the poem could have been read in a monastic context.  

 Lucan, De Bello Civili 9.411-412.: Tertia pars rerum Libye, si credere famae/ Cuncta velis; at, si ventos caelumque sequaris,/ Pars erit Europae.

‘Libya is the third continent of the world, if one is willing in all things to trust report; but, if you judge by the winds and the sky, you will find it to be part of Europe.’

‘Now it came to pass, after that Alexander the son of Philip the Macedonian, who first reigned in Greece, coming out of the land of Cethim, had overthrown Darius king of the Persians and Medes: he fought many battles, and took the strong holds of all, and slew the kings of the earth: and he went through even to the ends of the earth.’
